Periannath.com

Periannath is a Quenya word that means “host of the halflings.” In other words, it’s the Elven word for “hobbit.” I wanted to give this blog a name related to The Hobbit, what with the movie coming soon. Of course, the word periannath doesn’t appear in The Hobbit, but oh well. I wanted to go with LonelyMountain.com, but that’s taken.

Not exactly. In addition to writing Periannath.com, I am also the official JRR Tolkien Examiner for Examiner.com. As a rule, everything I post on Examiner.com, I also post on Periannath.com, at least one day later. However, there is original content for this blog that I do not post on Examiner.com.

5.) Who are you?

I am Erik David Even, a writer and Tolkien fan in Los Angeles, California. I am the official JRR Tolkien Examiner for Examiner.com, and the creator of Sauron’s Blog and VillainSource.com. My personal blog is Kunochan.com. My day job is with Zoic Studios in Culver City, California, where I am Internal Brand Manager; I created and write I Design Your Eyes for Zoic.

Aiya! Periannath.com is a weblog for the genuine Tolkien aficionado. There are no 13-year-old Orlando Bloom fans here. Get news and features about the writings, the legendarium, the languages, collectibles and games, and yes, the movies.
